What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Gravity Storm
“If you are looking for high mid crunch forget the Gravity Storm, I have that set in one of my guitars and it is a lot of lows and low mids with a rolled back high end.”
“However, to say the gravity storm will have scooped mids because it has an A5 is a stretch, as the Tone Zone example proves.”
